This data contains contracts which (1) cover City or agency-specific needs over a period of time and (2) were coordinated through the Bureau of Purchases in the Department of Finance. All materials, supplies, equipment, and services used by City Agencies – with the exception of professional services and public works (i.e., construction) – must be obtained through the Bureau of Purchases. Professional services may be procured through the Board of Estimates with the assistance of the Law Department; public works (i.e., construction) may be procured through the Department of Public Works (DPW).
Multiple listings in this Bureau of Purchases data reflect estimated breakdown among citywide and individual agency needs. Funds are encumbered against these contracts as goods or services are ordered. The contracts in this list have a starting date of July 1, 2010 or later. This dataset will be updated on a monthly basis.
